'Changes call for innovation, and innovation leads to progress'.
To spread the light of innovation and creation JKGIS Vijayanagar conducted ATL Community day on 20th April ' 2019. This event was celebrated to honour the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R Ambedkar. JKGIS thought of sharing its resources of Atal Tinkering Labs with other schools and NGOs who do not have access to these facilities and theirby staying true to Dr. B.R Ambedkar's ideologies.
The event was attended by 100 students, teachers and parents from neighbouring school- Swami Vivekanand Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Sanskar The CO Educational School, Adharsheela Global School, JKG International School Indirapuram and an NGO Gyan Kiran Foundation associated with JKG International School Vijay Nagar. Many activities such as introduction game, in & out game, newspaper tower, popsicle stick house, balloon car, salt water battery and plastic bottle working model making were conducted. Our enthusiastic learners of JKGIS Vijayanagar demonstrated the principles and features of the models-Automatic dustbin, Automatic home light, Automatic open door, Radar, Water flow sensor, Automatic traffic control, Drone, RC car, RFD security screen, Mini PC and 3D printing prototype which they created in ATL sessions. Students were divided into mixed groups so that they could interact with other students and exchange their ideas. This event provided an atmosphere of empathy wherein students from different backgrounds could interact. The students got a great opportunity to work with the tools and equipments of ATL and also understood the what, how and why aspects of STEM. We are highly obliged to have this great and successful event which gave all of us an opportunity to connect, create and celebrate!
